Kindly make it convenient to participate. Please note that the list of forthcoming ASET colloquia is available at https://tinyurl.com/ASETForum. Speakers: Prof. Rajaram Nityananda (Azim Premji University, Bengaluru) Title: The Undergraduate Science Programme at Azim Premji University Date: Friday, July 30, 2021 Time: 4 pm Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/91427966752?pwd=RkpCdE5JSDl6ajJLUlJNN3R6RTlrUT09 (Passcode: 388629) YouTube live link: https://youtu.be/PINhe9Jq6Ms Abstract: This colloquium will go over the experiment and experience of designing and conducting an ambitious undergraduate science programme over the last six years at the Azim Premji University in Bengaluru. This is one among many efforts in the country to go 'beyond the standard model' in undergraduate education. An unusual factor is being part of the Azim Premji Foundation which has been engaged for two decades in dozens of backward districts with government schools. and other human development issues. After describing various features of the courses, and their evolution, I will offer my personal views on the possible wider implications for undergraduate science education in our country. About the Speaker: Rajaram Nityananda worked in areas of optics, crystallography, and condensed matter, and astronomy, at the National Aerospace Laboratory and the Raman Research Institute in Bengaluru before moving to the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in 2000, retiring in 2013. He has served as editor of Pramana, the Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, and Resonance, and took up teaching assignments in physics and astronomy at the pre-PhD, masters, and undergraduate level during this period. After 2014, he has been a full-time member of the School of Arts and Science at the Azim Premji University in Bengaluru and taught in the undergraduate programme.
